National Harbor is a premier
destination unlike anything you’ve ever seen—a “new” river front
city just minutes from the Nation’s Capital. National Harbor is
an exciting, sprawling community that includes fine restaurants,
stunning office space, and lavish residences. National Harbor
brings together recreation, work, living and entertainment in a
way that has never been done before. National Harbor’s unique
shops make for a truly unmatched shopping experience. “Fashion
Boulevard” offers a unique mix of the hottest and most
fashionable brands. Walk between shops along the tree-lined
walkways as you gaze out over the Potomac River. It is one
million square feel of unparalleled shopping.
Water Taxi service is available from National Harbor to the
historic area of Old Town Alexandria. The crossing is
approximately 20 minutes by passenger boat and round trip
tickets can be purchased on your own. Alexandria is George
Washington’s hometown. A city that still has remnants of
cobblestone and brick streets. In Old Town you will find
antiques, art, boutiques and more. Unique one-of-a-kind
restaurants, taverns, bars, bistros and more are located
throughout Old Town.
